Investigations of three-body nuclear systems using pionless effective field theory ([Formula: see text]) are reviewed. The history of [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] scattering is briefly discussed and emphasis put on the use of strict perturbative techniques. In addition renormalization issues appearing in [Formula: see text] scattering are also presented. Bound state calculations are addressed and new perturbative techniques for describing them are highlighted. Three-body breakup observables in [Formula: see text] scattering are also considered and the utility of [Formula: see text] for addressing them.

The light double [Formula: see text] hypernuclei, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], are studied as three-body [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] cluster systems in halo/cluster effective field theory at leading order. We find that the [Formula: see text] system in spin-0 channel does not exhibit a limit cycle whereas the [Formula: see text] system in spin-1 channel and the [Formula: see text] system in spin-0 channel do. The limit cycle is associated with the formation of bound states, known as Efimov states, in the unitary limit. For the [Formula: see text] system in the spin-0 channel we estimate the scattering length [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text]-wave [Formula: see text] hyperon–hypertriton scattering as [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]fm. We also discuss that studying the cutoff dependences in the [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] systems, the bound state of [Formula: see text] is not an Efimov state but formed due to a high energy mechanism whereas that of [Formula: see text] may be regarded as an Efimov state.

Domain walls in gauge theory with non-Abelian flavor symmetry possess normalizable Nambu-Goldstone zero modes associated with spontaneously broken non-Abelian flavor symmetry. We construct the moduli space metric as the effective field theory of walls. The Nambu-Goldstone modes spread between two domain walls and their rotation induces long-range repulsive force. We also construct a bound state of domain walls. This article is based on the work with M. Eto, M. Nitta, K. Ohashi and N. Sakai1.


Effective field theory (EFT) is a general method for describing quantum systems with multiple-length scales in a tractable fashion. It allows us to perform precise calculations in established models (such as the standard models of particle physics and cosmology), as well as to concisely parametrize possible effects from physics beyond the standard models. EFTs have become key tools in the theoretical analysis of particle physics experiments and cosmological observations, despite being absent from many textbooks. This volume aims to provide a comprehensive introduction to many of the EFTs in use today, and covers topics that include large-scale structure, WIMPs, dark matter, heavy quark effective theory, flavour physics, soft-collinear effective theory, and more.

Abstract We conjecture a simple set of “Feynman rules” for constructing n-point global conformal blocks in any channel in d spacetime dimensions, for external and exchanged scalar operators for arbitrary n and d. The vertex factors are given in terms of Lauricella hypergeometric functions of one, two or three variables, and the Feynman rules furnish an explicit power-series expansion in powers of cross-ratios. These rules are conjectured based on previously known results in the literature, which include four-, five- and six-point examples as well as the n-point comb channel blocks. We prove these rules for all previously known cases, as well as two new ones: the seven-point block in a new topology, and all even-point blocks in the “OPE channel.” The proof relies on holographic methods, notably the Feynman rules for Mellin amplitudes of tree-level AdS diagrams in a scalar effective field theory, and is easily applicable to any particular choice of a conformal block beyond those considered in this paper.

Abstract Building upon the worldline effective field theory (EFT) formalism for spinning bodies developed for the Post-Newtonian regime, we generalize the EFT approach to Post-Minkowskian (PM) dynamics to include rotational degrees of freedom in a manifestly covariant framework. We introduce a systematic procedure to compute the total change in momentum and spin in the gravitational scattering of compact objects. For the special case of spins aligned with the orbital angular momentum, we show how to construct the radial action for elliptic-like orbits using the Boundary-to-Bound correspondence. As a paradigmatic example, we solve the scattering problem to next-to-leading PM order with linear and bilinear spin effects and arbitrary initial conditions, incorporating for the first time finite-size corrections. We obtain the aligned-spin radial action from the resulting scattering data, and derive the periastron advance and binding energy for circular orbits. We also provide the (square of the) center-of-mass momentum to $$ \mathcal{O}\left({G}^2\right) $$ O G 2 , which may be used to reconstruct a Hamiltonian. Our results are in perfect agreement with the existent literature, while at the same time extend the knowledge of the PM dynamics of compact binaries at quadratic order in spins.

Abstract We describe the on-shell method to derive the Renormalization Group (RG) evolution of Wilson coefficients of high dimensional operators at one loop, which is a necessary part in the on-shell construction of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT), and exceptionally efficient based on the amplitude basis in hand. The UV divergence is obtained by firstly calculating the coefficients of scalar bubble integrals by unitary cuts, then subtracting the IR divergence in the massless bubbles, which can be easily read from the collinear factors we obtained for the Standard Model fields. Examples of deriving the anomalous dimensions at dimension six are presented in a pedagogical manner. We also give the results of contributions from the dimension-8 H4D4 operators to the running of V+V−H2 operators, as well as the running of B+B−H2D2n from H4D2n+4 for general n.
